Default Intake options?

Is there anything else coming to compete with the Fast 90? Or do I just need to bite the bullet, I have a couple of weeks before my motor is together.

If you're really hardcore you could go with a sheetmetal intake or a carb intake adapted for fuel injection.

Seems he was looking for something potentially more cost effective than the FAST....doubt he's considering dropping dime on an elaborate sheet metal intake or custom carb style set-up.

Unfortunately the FAST is still the best game in town (IMHO), and while it may be a little pricey, it still delivers the goods on a pretty consistant basis. On a HP per dollar evaluation, its not horribly expensive in the grand scheme of things.

I guess I will go ahead with the Fast, bc the others might not be as streetable. Tony, I am considering using the AFR 225 small bore would they be better than the 205? I have a friend that mad 505rwhp with some 205's and a 382. His car is a six speed, my car will never be a dyno queen bc of the th400 and the 9in. I just want the car to go 9's and be somewhat streetable.

I had the heavy Weiland Intake, would not recommend, went with the F.A.S.T., and love it, little more pricey, but I was able to purchase for under 700.00 shipped new. Gotta love Ebay.

TPIS could convert your LS6 intake (assuming thats what you have right now) over to a 90mm opening. Not sure if the flow #'s would fit your needs, but its definately cheaper. I dont know anyone thats done this, but after seeing the intake comparo on their site, it caught my attention, and I'm considering it myself. Like I said, maybe not for you, but just a suggestion.

If you're going to make that big power, go with the FAST setup.

Making BIG power isn't cheap.

It's called the performance-price-reliability triangle, pick any 2 of them and get screwed on the third.

It seems like Pacesetter LT's are the only things made for these cars that satisfy all 3.


Send that manifold to Tony for some tweakage, especially if you go with AFR heads. Last I heard he's running a pretty beastly 383 himself.
